Dear Mr. Riordan

Hello sir. I would like to discuss with you a few ideas I have. I would be very appreciative if you contacted me somehow. Thank you very much ~Mitchy Id~ PS you may find me on facebook with the above name. thank you for your time. and i will most likely be sending you a letter, maybe...but i wouldnt count on it...probably. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.110.24.142 (talk) 16:52, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

This is not the place to contact Mr. Riordan. This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Rick Riordan article, not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject. Please contact the author via his publishing company. Thanks. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 21:56, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Edited Written Percy Jackson Series

Rick Riordan did not write the ultimate guide. It was written by Mary-Jane Knight. If you don't believe me, look at the copyright page of The Ultimate Guide. They probably didn't put her name on the front so buyers could be tricked into thinking it was written by Rick Riordan.KF5LLG (talk) 23:15, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation of Riordan's name

It's "RYE-er-dun." See a Library of Congress video-- "Rick Riordan - 2009 National Book Festival"-- at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPz5SQ5gkck. Cullinane (talk) 17:39, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

You are correct, and you can also confirm the author's own pronunciation at http://www.adlit.org/articles/authors/riordan/. The pronunciation RYE-er-dun written in IPA is /ˈraɪərdən/. It was previously written incorrectly in the article as /ˈraɪərˌdɛn/, which would imply that the final syllable gets a secondary stress and rhymes with 'men', which is not the case. So I corrected it. Iceager (talk) 21:11, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Book 5's title is not officially revealed.

How are people here and on the Heroes of Olympus page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heroes_of_Olympus) saying that Book 5 is "The Doors of Death"? Rick Riordan's official site - http://www.rickriordan.com/my-books/percy-jackson/heroes-of-olympus.aspx does not say anything about the title, only that it will be released in Fall 2014. Please reply if you know otherwise and give a citation. Or I will replace the title with simply "Book 5", since there is not even a working title divulged by the author.

This is probably similar to the situation in the thread above, in which the fourth novel revealed the fifth's title before any other source. Nevertheless, I agree with Adityarajbhatt's course of action; we should wait for official announcements from Riordan's site or publishers, per WP:CRYSTAL. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 09:48, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

What do you mean by your first sentence? The fourth novel has not been released yet. Assuming you meant the third novel, I would be fine with taking that as a source if it reavealed the fourth's name before it was updated on Rick's site. However, "The House of Hades" has not been released yet so we still do not know the fifth's name (widely rumored to be "The Doors of Death"). Adityarajbhatt (talk) 11:09, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Ah, my mistake. In that case, Doors of Death should not be on the page at all. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 01:37, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the fifth book is called the blood of olympus.-LEM1227— Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.14.119 (talk) 18:50, 21 February 2014‎

Hi!

I wanted to edit this page and add that Rick Riordan's wife name is Becky, but the page is protected so I wonder if an administratow could do it instead of me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlackPrim (talk • contribs) 19:55, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Done I've added a source, too; reliable secondary sources should back up everything added to Wikipedia. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 06:29, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
